Do you have interest in helping with the Town of Lincoln COVID-19 Vaccination effort?

The Town of Lincoln Public Health Task Force is seeking volunteers to join the Lincoln Medical Reserve Corps. We are seeking volunteers with medical, logistics, communication and computer skills, but all can help in multiple ways. Volunteering with the Medical Reserve Corps is a simple and effective way to support the needs of Lincoln, while also helping your family, friends, and neighbors stay safe and healthy.

The Town of Lincoln Public Health Task Force are in the early stages of drafting the plan for a Covid-19 vaccination clinic for our residents and town employees. The plan is not yet final; however we are interested in gathering early information on how many town residents have an interest in volunteering their time to assist in the Covid19 vaccination effort.  The clinics will occur between March and May and will be held at a location in Lincoln. The roles we need assistance with include the following:

• Parking Lot Coordinator (Non-clinical) - Mostly outdoors, confirming appointment times and verbally guiding residents to appropriate locations
